Learn about the lives of some of the most important LGBTQ+ heroes in this unique picture book that combines poetry and biographical information to honour those at the forefront of LGBTQ+ history.

Young readers will discover the lives and legacies of seventeen heroes of the queer community from both past and present. Marsha P. Johnson, Harvey Milk, Cleve Jones, Pauline Park, Richard Blanco, and Pete Buttigieg are just a few of the iconic figures represented in this wonderfully designed and colourful picture book, featuring illustrations by Harry Woodgate.

A perfect introduction to the people who have stood up for what they believed in and lived lives according to their own ideals, Queer and Fearless celebrates their partners, friends, and allies. The poetry in this book offers great read-aloud potential, sure to entertain and inform readers of all ages.

Beloved children's book author Rob Sanders brings the lives of the most prominent LGBTQ+ heroes to life through his beautiful poems and detailed biographies. This title includes a glossary and a description of each poetry style, making it an ideal choice for home and classroom.
